Semua Bab The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection: Bab 581 - Bab 590

Nala's body trembled hard as she spoke. She had spent one of her few ultimate trump cards just to verify Victor's words. It was something that could save her life in a crucial moment, but it was now wasted. This showed how powerful this mysterious person was. Nala could not even meet her in person, and she had to pay such a steep price for an answer. "I was wrong for underestimating you! I can't believe you could contact her at this time." Victor's face turned ashen. Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. "Uncle Victor!" Asher rushed over and glared at Nala. "It's not her fault. My time has come." Blood now flowed from his nose, ears, and even his eyes. Even Nala's expression changed. What kind of illness could cause such a horrific death? "Felix, it's my fault. It's all my fault!" Both tears and blood poured from his eyes. "Of course, she wouldn't admit it now that you've managed to contact her! It's all my fault. Instead of giving my son hope, I've put him in great da

Their appearance at the front table seemed conspicuous. That was because even the youngest person seated there was in their 40s. Though Felix wanted to invite Madeline and Luke over, they declined. Sometimes, they had to know their place to avoid seeming presumptuous. Just as they sat down, an older woman appeared. "Aunt Victoria!" George stood and bowed respectfully. "The head of the Zimmerman family hasn't officially announced who their heir would be. But George's uncle, Xavier Zimmerman, basically runs things now. His wife, Victoria Morgan, is quite the shrewd operator," Ryan whispered to Felix. Felix stayed quiet. When George asked for his help, he could already guess this involved family politics. "George, is this the guy who caused trouble to the Walsh family from Aleshire, Felix Zeller? I hear you're good friends with him, aren't you?" "Yes, Aunt Victoria." Since they were not allies, Felilx saw no need to be overly polite to her. Besides, the look in Victoria's

"The third-generation Grandmaster of Moonshadow Alliance should be here by now. Let me call and check," Felix said.George gave a bitter smile. "Mr. Zeller, don't bother! It's not your fault. No one expected Uncle Dominic to have this ace up his sleeve. Even if Moonshadow Alliance showed up now, it wouldn't help." Seeing Felix's confusion, Ryan whispered an explanation, "Moonshadow Alliance is indeed powerful in Dragonia, and few dare disrespect them as you saw with the Walsh family. "But the Eight Great Martial Families are beyond that league. Moonshadow Alliance could barely challenge one or two of the lowest-ranked families, and that's only with their founder involved. "George's uncle has actually managed to invite Lady Grey of the Elders' Council. She seems influential just from her title. Offending her would mean making enemies of all Eight Great Martial Families. After all, the Council represents them." Could Moonshadow Alliance barely challenge the lowest-ranked familie

"She's my godsister," Felix replied.Karina did not even bother to get up. She just nodded to greet them. Victoria immediately seized this opportunity to insult them. "Hah! One person gets invited, and the whole family has to come along and eat! Why are you even bringing your relatives to a birthday party? "What, have you never been to such a fancy event before, Felix? And this godsister of yours is ill-mannered as you. Everyone else is standing while you two stay seated." Dominic was harsher. He even pointed toward the exit. "Both of you, get out! What an embarrassment. George, if you ever bring friends like this to public events again, I will throw you out of the family." Felix's body tensed at these words. Stiffly, he turned to look at Karina. Their eyes met as she asked casually, "Can I kill them?" Felix gulped. This was his worst fear. In normal circumstances, Dominic and Victoria would already be headless. The fact she was asking showed she was really trying to respect

Madeline smiled without saying anything. Forget her marriage to Luke. She knew well that even the pasta business would not have been this smooth without Felix's help. Starting a business meant dealing with countless officials and stakeholders. Only Luke's sister's connections made it so easy. And those conveniences did not fall from the sky—they came through Felix. "Maddy, you should go. I'll head to the airport myself," Felix said.Felix's sudden words seemed odd to Madeline until she spotted someone approaching aggressively. "Okay. I'm planning to visit Canraville in a few days. We'll meet up with Jack then." Almost as soon as Madeline left, Asher stood before Felix with cold eyes. "Come with me!" Despite the commanding tone, Felix remained calm. "Are we that close?" Asher tried to grab him. It was impressive that he had reached the Ultimate Mortal Realm at such a young age, but he was no match for Felix. When Asher's arm was caught, his whole body became immobilized. "
